Introducing DQ Core

We're excited to launch DQ Core — a brand new 100% mobile platform built for VIP, General Admission and Events. It's the same DQ operational DNA you already trust, rebuilt from the ground up to get a venue live in minutes and work fast in the palm of your hand.

DQ Pro remains fully supported, however, feature updates and development will continue in the DQ Core eco-system.

Migration is available for existing DQ Pro teams ready to switch. Your past events, menu, bookings, guests and tags can all be migrated when you choose to switch across.

🚀 Get Started in Under 5 Minutes

No sales call, no onboarding queue. Download the app, create an account, and start building your venue:

  • Self-serve setup — create your venue, add your floor, and build your menu straight from your phone.

  • Instant staff invites — bring your team on board and assign roles in seconds.

  • Free to start — DQ Core has an always-free tier, so you can try it with zero commitment.

  • DQ Pro → DQ Core Migration - You’re not starting from scratch. Your past events, menu, bookings, guests and tags can all be migrated when you choose to swap.

🪑 Run Your Floor

  • Live floor view — sections and tables update instantly across every device, so the whole team sees the same picture in real time.

  • Open & close tabs — seat a booking to open a tab, and close it the moment the balance is settled.

  • Table merging — combine tables for bigger parties into a single tab, led by one primary table.

📅 Bookings, Events & the Guest List

  • Events — every night or occasion your venue runs, with its own bookings and guest lists.

  • Bookings — reservations from your website or added on the spot for walk-ins and phone bookings.

  • Guest lists & Ticketing — run the door separately from table service, with check-in as guests arrive, payments and tickets.

  • Booking activity log — a permanent, uneditable record of every seat, table change, approval, and cancellation.

🍸 Orders, Built In

  • Order straight from the table — build an order against any open tab in a few taps.

  • Kitchen/bar board — track every order from pending through to delivered.

  • Full line-item history — nothing is ever summarised away, so every order is fully auditable later.

💳 Take Payment However Your Guests Want

  • Manual payments — cash, card, or comp.

  • Tap-to-Pay & card reader — take real card payments in-app, no extra hardware required for Tap-to-Pay.

  • QR pay-at-table — let guests pay themselves from their own phone.

  • Payment requests & refunds — request help from a manager, or issue a refund straight from the receipt.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 A Guest Book That Grows With You

  • Guest CRM — every guest's history in one place, shared across your company.

  • Manual tags — tag guests, items, events, and packages so your team always knows how to look after someone.

  • Automatic insights — behaviour-derived tags like "Regular" or "Likes Vodka," worked out from each guest's own history.

🔔 Keep the Floor Connected

  • Staff call and messaging — call a manager, runner, or security with one tap, from anywhere on the floor.

  • Full notification history — every request and push, deep-linked back to the relevant booking or tab.

📊 Know How the Night Went

  • Operations, stock, and transaction reports — reconciling a shift takes minutes, not a spreadsheet.

  • Order history — the complete, searchable record of everything ever sold.

🔐 Roles Built for the Floor

Seven roles — Owner, Manager, Host, Waiter, Promoter, Runner, and Dispense — so everyone sees exactly what they need and nothing they don't.
